Dairy Event 2011: Jim Paice to open event

Agriculture minister Jim Paice is set to kick off proceedings at this year’s Dairy Event and Livestock Show (6-7 September).

Following the opening ceremony, Mr Paice plans to tour the event to meet farmers and trade exhibitors, as well as visiting the new National All Breed Show and the New Smithfield area.

In addition, international delegates from 23 countries are expected to attend the show, described by Royal Association of British Dairy Farmers (RABDF) chief executive Nick Everington as the “UK’s largest specialist event” for the livestock sector.
